Following a proposal from Ministry of AYUSH, Commission for Scientific and Technical Terminology (CSTT) adopted word ‘AYUSH’ in Hindi and English languages for scientific and technical purposes.
CSTT approved ‘ayush’ word with meaning “Traditional and Non-Conventional Systems of Health Care and Healing which include Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa Rigpa, Homoeopathy etc”.
Now the word will be officially used in all Government communications.
CSTT was established in December 1960 and is headquartered in New Delhi.
It is established by Government of India resolution under provision Article 344(4) of Constitution with the objective of defining scientific and technical terms in Hindi and all Indian languages.
